Retreats & Trainings

Ways to retreat yourself, be guided and learn.

Retreats and workshops are chances for you to share deep transformational moments with teachers and other students. I offer several events in Portugal and other parts of the world, from yoga retreats to various trainings.

  • One of the best experiences I've ever had. Outstanding teaching, an incredibly deep and respectful approach to Ashtanga/ Vinyasa practice, along with excellent food and pleasant people make this place truly magical! Thank you for everything!

  • Attending the Healing Touch – Hands-On Yoga Assist Module in Sintra, Portugal, was an enriching and deeply personal experience that has stayed with me. The peaceful location and Monja’s attentive, warm guidance made this course truly special. Monja brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and clear structure, combined with a warm presence and full attention. Her holistic approach is practical, easy to understand, and shared with genuine dedication. I would recommend this training without hesitation. Even if you don’t live in Portugal, the trip is worth it – not only for the course, but also as a valuable time for yourself. I’m grateful to have met Monja.

  • This retreat was incredible. I can only express my utmost gratitude to these women for creating such a beautiful, nurturing and loving space for us. I was really blown away by the attention to detail, the personal touches and the genuine warmth and kindness of these two women. The program they curated and the space they held was extremely nourishing and transformative. Monja’s yoga classes are a unique hybrid of modalities blended together to make an immersive and truly soulful experience. The care and attention she manages to give to each participant leaves you feeling inspired and well-guided through your practice. Monja’s presence is incredibly nurturing and warm, which creates a safe space whether that be for light, humorous conversation or deep emotional work. I would recommend her classes to anyone!

  • The Yoga Retreat with Monja and Katja in Portugal is one of my greatest yoga experiences so far! Even though it didn't feel like learning, I was able to take a lot with me for my yoga practice at home. Monja is an absolute professional yoga teacher who knows what she is talking about. The warm, familiar and relaxed atmosphere and the great ambience left a lasting impression on me. So all in all a perfect experience for body, mind and soul! It will definitely not be my last yoga retreat with Monja and Katja!

  • To retreat is often meaning to withdraw and with this retreat it felt like it was an opportunity to withdraw from society, culture, limited beliefs, perceptions of ourselves and our ego's, and to step into a space filled with softness ,strength and wildness of our inner soul! Monja,there is no one else I would have want to have this journey with you and especially since the pandemic. You embody love and safety to invite the Yes to join. Your practises elevate the souls energy,the Kundalinini within us, and vibrates with a high “10” number! Thank you so much for your heart and love and presence. I returned with the love hug in my heart, and the interconnected feeling from our tribe who hold the same vibe as me. The location was filled with raw life,in every sense of the way,scenery and food. What is Soft & Wild, it is an experience you have to deeply experience to know

  • The atmosphere of the retreat was warm and welcoming and I felt like I was among friends from the moment I arrived. Monja and Katja, with all their immense knowledge of yoga, pregnancy, motherhood and meditation, were so wonderful in guiding me throughout the retreat, I felt incredibly cared for.

  • The retreat with Monja and Katja had everything I wished for and more... The atmosphere was incredibly loving and warm, at the same time thoroughly honest and relaxed. The sessions were really the best yoga sessions I've ever had - ever since. Twice during that week I had tears in my eyes with joy and happiness. It doesn't matter if you are a yoga novice or a pro, Monja and Katja will pick you up and give everyone an unforgettable experience.

  • Going on a retreat with Monja and Katja is a journey to your Self from a place of curiosity, love and deep embrace. The space is gorgeously curated with care and tenderness, allowing you to cry-laugh your way through whatever it is you are looking for or that wants to find you. Their hands-on support and amazing hearts are felt through every aspect of the weekend. I was able to let myself be and cater to all that wanted to be experienced. I left the retreat feeling grounded and empowered since — to meet my personal unfolding openly, truthful and embodied.

  • I am so grateful for Monja’s wisdom and confidence she instilled in me, and so much so that I felt ready the next day to implement it already in my classes. Such an immerse experience too - I loved the incorporation of a sound ceremony at the end of the first day to relax my information-filled mind and to digest and switch off a bit too. Highly highly recommend!
